  1. How Magnets Work

  2. Magnetic properties depend on atomic structure.

  3. How magnets work • The atom itself has magnetic properties that are caused by the way the electrons move.

  4. How magnets work • Groups of atoms move and align themselves so that their magnetic fields are all arranged in the same direction.

  5. Magnetic Domain

  6. Remember that  To become magnetized, ferromagnetic material is place in a strong magnetic field which causes the atoms of the material to shift so all the atoms are aligned in the same direction.

  7. Can you unmagnetize a magnet???

  8. 1.Dropping the magnet with enough force to jar its atoms out of alignment 2.Heating the magnetthis causes atoms to gain kinetic energy and move and become randomly arranged. Yes—a magnet can lose its magnetism by…
